The First TLC Miracle

In one miraculous step after another UW Sports Ministry has been on a GOD-SIZED journey whose mission is impacting the lives of all who are choosing to partake!
In a STEP of obedience and a LEAP of faith UW started it’s “TLC” mission in January 2008 aiming to reach a Million Children for Christ by 2013.
Miracles began immediately, starting with our first International Church training which took place in April of 2008 in GUATEMALA. Not knowing yet how our model of training was going to be implemented and not knowing where the funding was going to come from so quickly we decided to ask God to confirm going to Guatemala by providing the funding through the donation of one donor, who had previously given the original gift that had started the ministry 13 years earlier. When hearing the impact UW had already had for the past 12 summers, plus the door that had opened for UW to take outreach sports camp training to 40 countries worldwide, this gentleman wanted to be a part of launching this next phase of ministry and simply asked how much would be needed. Upon, hearing the amount of $10,000 he simply pulled out his checkbook and wrote the check to fund the Guatemala training. Just another confirmation that this was God’s journey, not ours.
**40 pastors, leaders and missionaries from 7 different cities in Guatemala attended that first training. They since have taken this back to their own towns and villages to run their own sports camps!**
“Our small Request…God’s Huge Desire!!!”

God continued early on to confirm our journey towards REACHING a MILLION children for CHRIST in a prayer time in Minnesota...

During a visit to one of our partnering churches in Minnesota, our President, Tim Conrad poked his head in to meet the senior pastor, whom he had never had the chance to meet. The pastor invited Tim and the Children’s Ministry Director in to pray with him.
 The Pastor began to pray (without the pastor knowing the doors that had been opened to UW) and boldly asked God to use UW to reach 100,000 kids for Christ. Tim, knowing God was talking through this pastor, interrupted the prayer to say, IT’s A MILLION”……upon hearing the increase the pastor quickly responded, “TIMES TEN GOD, TIMES TEN!!!”
